Yep, that’s Sosa dressed up as a cowboy, complete with a very red hat and a gun in a holster. He did have a reason for the outfit, though. Most reports suggest his getup was part of a Cowboy-themed costume party for his wife.

Baseball hasn’t been too kind to Sosa in his retirement. He’s constantly feuded with the Cubs regarding his status within the organization. Sosa wants the team to recognize his performance, but the team has been hesitant to embrace him.

Sosa was famously not present at all during the Cubs’ 2016 World Series run. Nor was he around during the early celebrations in 2017.

Sosa may have realized as much, and decided he had a better chance of getting his career celebrated by the Texas Rangers. He didn’t have to try and dress like one to make that happen, but it can’t hurt, right?
